Ok, so I have followed your instructions and I have modified the .c file to include the line for my remote. I am looking at the INSTALL file for instructions on how to build and install the modified code. it runs the configure routine and brings me to an ASCII style screen and asks me to select a driver. I scroll down to USB and then inside there I don't have an option for my remote or the mceusb2 driver. What selection should I choose?

There is an option for selecting an MCE Remote/Receiver in the configure utility after you select USB. Use the down-arrow key until you see it and then select it.

I was thinking there should have been a selection based on my vendor that I added to the .c file... And because there isn't maybe I didn't compile it correctly?

Dont forget that your vendor is manufacturing and MCE compatible remote that is designed to work as a replacement/alternative to the MS branded equivalent. You should choose the 'new version, Philips' option.

So I chose the option you specified and it began the build. However at the end it gave a few errors when trying to "touch" files. Now, something I have had problems with is knowing what the real root password is. I chose a password during install for the LinuxMCE user but I was never prompted for a root password. Is it that I wasn't able to compile as root? I did put the "sudo" command in front of the setup command that was outlined in the INSTALL document. Here is the output I received after choosing the options in the ASCII window.
